EVGA 500 B1 100-B1-0500-KR 80+ BRONZE 500W Includes FREE Power On Self Tester Power Supply

Pros: Really cheap. Just $29.99 after a $20 rebate. 80+ bronze! From relatively reliable manufacturer 3 year warranty

Cons: Would rather get cash compared to Amex gift cards from rebate

Overall Review: Really good if you get it for cheap. I used this for my first build, and it's working great. Build: AMD FX-6300 3.5ghz with stock heatsink 4x4GB DDR3 RAM GA-970A-UD3P Motherboard MSI R9 270X 2GB 1TB HDD 1 normal fan, 1 led fan 1 fan controller

Most Critical Review

There are better mice out there

SteelSeries Kana Mouse
SteelSeries Kana Mouse

Pros: Ok for left hand users. One large button on each side.

Cons: Short lifetime. Bought this for $30 on sale. After around 2 months, the inner black rubber wire started tearing out of the threaded wire casing. After 7 months, it started to die, and if the wire was moved too much, it would disconnect. After 8 months it was unusable. the mouse would only connect if the wire was stretched to a certain angle, (part of the wire inside the mouse had broken).

Overall Review: Definitely not worth a $60 price-tag. Would probably buy for $20.

Good adapter for >$12

Rosewill RNWD-N1501UB USB Wireless Mini Adapter N150 Wi-Fi Adapter
Rosewill RNWD-N1501UB USB Wireless Mini Adapter N150 Wi-Fi Adapter

Pros: -Small -Cheap -Works without drivers

Cons: -Range is not amazing, but still satisfactory. I tested this on my laptop alongside the built in adapter, and the built in adapter picked up more neighboring networks. -Packaging is bad. As others have said, the driver CD and manual is not visible from the outside so I almost cut them when cutting open the package. I almost threw them away entirely until I found out from the reviews that they were included.

Overall Review: Overall, the adapter itself is what I around what I would expect for $12 CAD, but I didn't like the packaging and the cost of shipping. The adapter itself is in a small clam-shell style packaging, but it shipped in a big box (I believe it's called size 2). The box could probably fit 50 or so adapters. The box was really really light. The shipping costs was $7.99, while the adapter itself only cost 3.99. The costs could be reduced by shipping the adapter in smaller boxes.
